1.0 Introduction

The ACE Target and Studio Cold Start Guide (DOC-TEL-ACE-CS-B-0) supplants the pre-

viously separate ACE Target Cold Start Guide (DOC-02-TEL4-TCS-1) and ACE Studio Cold

Start Guide (DOC-02-TEL4-ASCS-1).

The cold start procedure(s) described in this document allow you to build Telestra systems from

scratch. There are three main reasons for using the cold start procedure:

lInstalling the latest software version

lRebuilding a damaged hard disk

lCreating spare hard disks

The following steps outline the cold start procedure:

1. To back up the Telestra server, see Section 3.0, "Back up the Telestra server" on page3.

2. To configure the BIOS settings, ensuring the cold start procedure runs properly, see Sec-

tion 4.0, "Configure the BIOSsettings" on page5.

3. (Optional) To perform a media check, see Section 5.0, "(Optional) Perform a media

check" on page15.

4. To complete the cold start procedure, erase the hard drive, and install the Red Hat and

Telestra Target software. For Red Hat 5 installation instructions, see Section 6.1.1,

"Install Red Hat 5.10 and higher" on page17. For Red Hat 6 installation instructions, see

Section 6.2, "ACE Target cold start for Red Hat 6.X" on page20.

5. Configure the network. First, assign a temporary IP address to the Telestra Target, which

allows a web browser to remotely access ACE Target software. Then use the Remote

Management System on a web browser to complete the network setup. To configure the

network, see Section 9.0, "Configure the Telestra Target network" on page33.

6. (Optional) If you purchased ACEStudio software, complete the ACEStudio cold start

procedure on a separate box. To install Red Hat 6 on an ACEStudio development work-

station, see Section 10.2, "ACEStudio cold start procedure for Red Hat 6.X" on page41.

7. To restore the Telestra server, see Section 11.0, "Restore system backup" on page46.

8. Upload the Options file. If the Options file is not included in the system backup file, you

must upload it manually. This step enables the software license for system functionality.

For Options file details and upload instructions, see Section 12.0, "Options files" on

page47.

3.0 Back up the Telestra server

The Backup System Configuration page creates an archive of backup files on the devel-

opment workstation. This page includes the following settings:

lOptions: includes all options files loaded on the system.

lProjectsArchive: includes all projects archived on the system.

lRMSUsersAndConfig: includes user information (e.g., passwords, lockout settings).

lSoundLibrary: the library of sound files on the system, including the project's index and

files in Waveform (.wav) audio file format.

lTelestraConfig: includes configuration settings (e.g., network settings, preferences).

To create a system backup, follow these steps:

1. Open a web browser on the ACEStudio development workstation. Ensure the devel-

opment workstation shares the same network as the Telestra server.

2. To access the RMS, in the address bar, type the Telestra server's IP address.

3. In the top-right corner, click Login.

4. Log into the system using the following default credentials:

Username Password

admin astirules

5. From the left menu, under Configuration, click Backup Restore.

6. On the System Backup/Restore page, click Backup System Configuration.
